Fly, ye sinners of every description! to the cross of Christ—take refuge there—seek the pardoning love of God in your Redeemer’s sufferings. From thence peace flows, and mercy extends its healing efficacy. O ye young people, who are acting the part of the foolish prodigal, return to your heavenly Father’s house—feed on the husks of this world no longer, but seek your pleasures from God. See, your heavenly Father waits to be gracious! He holds out the best robe, even the Saviour’s righteousness, and stands ready to put it upon you; and, although it was purchased by the blood of his only Son, he is willing to give it to you without money, and without price.
John Buckworth — J. Buckworth, A Series of Discourses, Containing a System of Doctrinal, Experimental, and Practical Religion, 2nd ed. (Leeds: Griffith Wright, 1812), Sermon V, on Psalm 145:13, p. 80
